I am an ARB registered architect, working for Foster + Partners in London. I attained my bachelor's degree equivalent, RIBA Part I, from the Architectural Association (2012) and a master's degree in architecture, RIBA Part II, from the Bartlett, University College London (2017). In addition to my career as an architect, I am pursuing part-time study in mathematics with Open University. I am interested in multi-disciplinary approaches to building design.

By 2050, world population is projected to reach 9.8 billion.
A review on densification of large cities, rapid deployment of air-conditioning technologies and urban heat island effects encourage a real need for innovative means of integrating ventilation and cooling in building design. The design research sets out to challenge conventional air-conditioning systems by investigating the viability of using fluid integrated building envelopes for environmental modulation. The design studies were inspired by the geometry and thermoregulation properties of the blood vascular systems, with variegated tubular dimensions and multi-layered distribution.
